Milk + Cat + Stapler

What started to be a little personal project last year has gone global.

The idea of the Linguistic Monsters' Alphabet came to me because of all the languages spoken in Luxembourg. I was really inspired by couples of mix heritage (such as my hubster and myself) and how they communicated in a 3rd language to each other while teaching their child/children (if they had any) their own native tongue. It's incredible how quickly the kids pick up all 3 languages plus a 4th or 5th that sometimes they mix up words, or use the easiest words in which ever language they know to describe something or a situation.

Though the words selected for the Linguistic Monsters' Alphabet are from several languages that may not be the easiest to pronounce, they certainly made an impact on me.
